Maintainers simply may not have enough time to contribute. Most of them work full-time for projects. Updating this is probably a fantastic way to demonstrate your experience with OpenEmbedded :wink: (it always helps for the application, it did in my case!)

Understandable, I will try to set up a nice workflow and try to fix the issues on meta-ros first.

Thats wrong. The point of OpenEmbedded isnt that one. Moreover this was attempted in the past and youd find that getting a fully fledged DDS implementation running in a microcontroller is somewhat complicated and not really useful. Thats what the micro-ROS project is for which builds on top of previous experiences.

Can you elaborate why it wouldn't be useful? Offloading intensive, high frequency calculations to a microcontroller(f.e. sensor data processing) then sending back the results sounds pretty useful. Or did I misunderstand something?
